Hm, that IS a cool idea.

I'll ask the rest of the group what they think. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

We interview the Devs, highlight active topics, write news articles based on Red Name announcements...

... and they glean their information from the Dear Abby parody.

I love this community.

First bit of feedback is proofreading... that's promising.

That's fan base, for ya. I tell ya Posi *hand on shoulder*, these kids are crazy.

So, um, while you're at it... would Marcian be such a hard name to say?

Would it be possible to post a picture of that moment?

They're going to respec into the right powers?

Ya know, I was wondering why you specifically stated you took time to wrote the script (You've never said that before). Upon finally hearing this, I understand.

You delight in pseudo tongue twisters, do you not?

So appropriate that Freakshows are the ones with the silly names.

You have a great understanding of the cultures. I love it!

You know what gets me every time I see a video like this for CoH/V? This is a damn fine looking game.

It's easy to forget when you're in it, but watching demos always shocks me at the pure quality of eyecandy involved.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, I was watching that and promising to myself that I would upgrade the graphics effects on my computer once CoX is installed.

The people of a city decide how something's pronounced, not its founders. That's why we say "Tuh-ronna" instead of Toronto, and why Tah-lohs is right, not Tay-los.

This gets into the philosophy of the nature of language, which my ex and I constantly debated.

My ex contended that the original, intended structure of the word is the concrete, unwaivering usage and pronounciation of it. I've contended that the word's definition and usage is hingent entirely on the majority of the users of the language.

It all boils down to one thing, really... Do YOU think Idaho is a word?

Anyone else notice that the music for this was from Villains, yet all the footage was heroes?

*Kisses Positron's Boots of Glory*

SuperSean, I don't feel right giving out the entire internets, but I give you the Peta and facebook websites.

Well, that was the hardest of Cores.

I love it! I love it so!

Who did the voice, though?

He he... he pronounced Tay-los.

Alls I'm thinking while I read this is wow...now I can get pl'd way easier, pl someone alot easier, and all those ehn I'm getting and don't need I can make a mule char with the other sets and make a huge buck. The percentages you throw out would be enough to make alot of things sooo much easier. I like the idea of having backstory pp's but the ones suggested need some major tweaking.

[/ QUOTE ]

As was noted in the Original Post. I'm no numbers master. The numbers represent the vague area I want to touch, but I literally don't have a single stat in City of Heroes/Villains memorized.

I hope that the Devs, seeing this, would make it more playable.

Ummm... I meant your avatar's gender... but... o...k...

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, I uh... I knew that. Hm.

I'mma just go change my ava gender to female and scratch this whol issue.

Oh, *Pshaw. My gender is the underling of my mood.

[ QUOTE ]
Totally unrelated, but Marcian, have you switched your Avatar?!?!!?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, it is a rather disturbing version of Mr. Poe right now.

Several people on these forums, at my request, have made rather awesome A Series of Unfortunate Events avatars. I shall be rotating them regularly. Thanks for noticing!

<qr>

Hey, all! I just got a Vistas computer, and I haven't installed City of Heroes yet. I'm looking foward to doing so, so I'd like to ask a couple questions first.

1) Does this thread cover all of the issues that are relevant to the Vistas dillemmia?

2) If I do all of the 'assignments' given in the OP, should I not really have any problems, or are there other concerns?

Thank you very much in advance!

/signed so hard I broke my pen.

He he he... We are getting the weirdest /Signed's here.

*Checks Views*

Oh, goodness! We've almost hit Flame status! YES!!!!

Argh, I haven't put out 2.0 yet. Sorry.

Anyone know if the Devs have read this yet?

There we are. All voted up and such! Hope you like my answers!

Note: Your last question says "pick two", yet I was only able to pick one. Bug?

Wow, there are some good ideas here!

I've been looking at the thread, thinking to myself "Okay, copy and paste THAT idea... and that one... and that one..."

We'll be doing our best to give you updates from once more gets under way. Don't forget to PM if you have a specific idea that you want to help with!

Eh...It still kidna makes me squirm. I just have a gut feeling that such a thing will only be read by forumites. while a gimmiky litttle thing it wont be really new to those that read it. WE pretty much keep up on updates, patches and whatnot. Now if Positron were to have like an Ask Postiron section that would be new and cool but it would still only attract formites.

I know several people in game who wont goto a forum as a matter of principle. It drives me up a wall. Anyway it's your show. I just dont think makeing it its own forum is the best idea.

[/ QUOTE ]

There are a couple ideas we have to get the word out to everyone. I'll let you know how they go.

As far as "Ask Positron"... I can pretty much lay down a "No" for that. Ex Libris and Lighthouse are trying to set it up so that the City Scoop becomes "Automated", that is, the forum community would be able to do it without any Red Name blessing. Dedicating a section to Positron would kind of be counter intuitive, as it would be asking them to dedicate more time and resources to the program.

I'm not ruling out anything, but I am saying having a weekly or bi-weekly section that is based on Red Name interaction will most likely not be a successful venture.

[ QUOTE ]
I'd rather it not be a forum post. I'd rahter it have more of a newsletter type format complete with pictures and whatnot.

[/ QUOTE ]

We'd be able to enable HTML on that specific forum, which is why we'd give it its own section.

[ QUOTE ]
I really like the sound of this.

EDIT: How will the content be presented? Will it be done in-game, or out of game? or a mix of the two?

[/ QUOTE ]

We're currently looking into that. What we want is something that will be equally available to everyone, regardless of whether they are more gamer or more forumite.

The main idea that we are kicking around is giving it its own forum. Nothing is in stone, though.

Thanks for your support!

What we're trying to do is get together a sort of mini guide. Every week, we are going to put out an issue of City Scoop. The City Scoop will contain everything noteworthy that has happened within the last week.

What we're looking for:

Anything noteworthy. If you want people to know that it happened, we're the way to get the word out.

News:
<ul type="square"> [*]Important Messages from Devs and Mods. [*]Patch Notes [*]Updates [*]Important Threads that reflect the community. [*]Player Events (As approved my those in charge)[/list]
Also, we are looking for other projects to add flavor. The following are some ideas to that end:
<ul type="square"> [*]Fan Art [*]Fan Fiction [*]Fan Other (Music Videos, Audio Recordings, Etc.) [*]Puzzles (I heard that somewhere ) [*]Random Ideas [/list]
So, anything you are willing to contribute to either Teldon or myself is something we would love to look over as soon as possible! We are always open for ideas. This group of people is capable of producing same great concepts, and I can't wait to see them!

Thanks in advance! I look foward to this opportunity to further serve and aid the community.
